GRILLED KOREAN BULGOGI BEEF



Grilled Korean Bulgogi Beef image

I say "bulgogi", you say "pul-kogi". Truthfully, I'm not really sure how you're supposed to say it but, no matter how you say it, it's tasty. Apparently 'Bulgogi' translates as 'fire-meat' in Korean. The flavour in this dish but it's definitely not 'subtle'. You know you've had something to eat after you've had it - lots of salt, garlic and soy combine for mega-umami! I did NOT include the overnight marinating. Enjoy!

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb rib eye steak, thick cut, thinly sliced against the grain (they recommend the rib eye, it is good to have some marbling in the meat)
6 garlic cloves, minced, this is not a 'date night' dish
1/2 pear, diced (a pear? What the...?)
2 green onions, sliced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine (white wine works in a pinch)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients. Add the sliced beef and marinate overnight in the fridge.
  • Grill quickly at high heat. The beef cooks very fast when it's sliced thin so don't wander away. It only takes a minute or 2 on each side!
  • Serve over noodles or rice or over greens for a delicious, Asian-style salad.

BEEF BULGOGI

Just like my Korean mom makes it! It's delicious! Even better if rolled up in red leaf lettuce with rice and hot pepper paste. If you want to spice it up just add red pepper powder to your marinade.
